In the United States, many people said you can't have folk music in the United States because you don't have any peasant class.

These songs and music didn't fit into any neat category of art music nor popular music nor jazz. So gradually they said well let's call it folk music. Pete Seeger

Who knows, there may be some kid in diapers and he or she might succeed in capturing in a few dozen words what great writers have spent years trying to say.
